Yikes - Ingo, I don't want to spawn a long thread here about what to call the list, but as a native English speaker, I think that "linux-trace-users" sounds much nicer than "linux-tracing-users".
Perhaps, trace is an adjective describing the kind of users, in any case, it doesn't sound like "one trace" - so, could we go this one? (if you insist on linux-tracing then you have to drop the word "users")
